05-15-24 Hour 2 of Broncos Country Tonight

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Well do it Broncos Country tonight.But with all bride, Dick Ferguson,
Grant Smith, Now, Grant,I know I don't have to ask you
what your favorite game on the scheduleis, as obviously the Broncos are at
the Bengals in week seventeen, andyou are a Bengals fan. Yeah,
I'm not actually gonna try and takethat game off and maybe go home for
Christmas for the first time in likefive years and maybe catch that Bengals game

(00:22):
in Cincinnati. Well there you go. Yeah, remind me once again because
there is a certain food. Whatis this Skyline chili? And I heard
like I heard it if you eatit after you eat it, you like
pre diabetic. Yes, we're SkylineChili. I'll tell you what, man.
I lived in Cincinnati for a yearand I probably had it at least

(00:42):
once a week, probably twice aweek. Wow, I had it once
and no, thanks, Skyline.You don't want to Oh wait, wait,
it's that time. It has morecalories. One serving of that has
more calories than the KFC double downwhen you put it on some spaghetti with
a little hot sauce. Is itspaghetti or is it? Uh? It's

(01:03):
sweet chili on spaghetti noodles. Yeah, it's probably the best way to play
like chili mat with some but notreal. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's
like brown sugar chili on hungry Rightnow, just thinking about house can't even
I want to get a couple morethings about this the schedule. I want
to get a little Rockies and Nuggetstalk as well. The surging Rockies seventh

(01:23):
straight of the Colorado Rockies ever sinceI made that twenty game win streak joke
when they were eight and twenty eight, saying that if they tie their ever
since I made that joke, butif they if they tied the Oakland Athletics
win streak from Moneyball, they wouldbe back at five hundred. They haven't
lost the game. I told Ryanand Day when I was on the Sports
too, like, could it havebeen the fact that you played the Rangers

(01:46):
and you played so well against theRanger Rangers that that was the turning point
that everyone could look back in theRocky season and say, well, that's
when it changed that game. That'sseries right there. Maybe it's it's fascinating
to they've won seven straight. Showthose signs are slowing down. They absolutely
slaughtered them today. I'm shut out. Yeah, slaughtered them today. Offense

(02:07):
is looking good. They're finally they'refinally starting to hit on all. So
it is interesting to see. Idon't know if this is just a flash
in the pan or if it's justsomething that they could keep up. Obviously,
I think you've got the Dodgers nextweek, late next week maybe,
Uh so that's gonna be interesting,you know, if they continue to win
up until that point to kind ofreally see where they're at. But yeah,
they're they're playing it on their minds, right like if you have but

(02:28):
blag. I mean, obviously yougo back to the Rangers game and say,
well, you use that with yourteam and say, well, this
is how good we could be ifeverything goes right for us. And then
you look at the Abs, youlook at the Nuggets, and how well
you know they're playing you know,the Abs, not as of late,
but based on that championship pedigree withinthe city, you can't help think that

(02:52):
it's not going to motivate the Rockiesto say, well, we want people
to start talking about us in ourballpark, not just for I guess the
sky deck, but because you comeand watch great baseball. That's what they're
trying to get to. And asa coach, you try to use every
more soon of anything that you canto motivate your play. So this may
be it. Yeah, fascinating kindof dichotomy here. Over the seven game

(03:16):
win streak, the Colorado Rockies haveonly allowed fourteen runs allowed two runs per
game over this win streak. It'snot just that the bats have come alive,
which they have, you know,it's not just happen I mean,
you're allowing two runs a game.Wow. Who would have thought it at
the beginning of the season that theRockies would be on such a heater right

(03:37):
now. I don't want to jinxit. I don't want to jinx it,
but this is great for them.Yeah. If they've scored forty three
runs and allowed fourteen over this sevengame win streak, which includes a win
over the Giants, three game sweepof the Texas Rangers, and a three
game sweep of the San Diego PodRaise, you got a day off and
you're going back to San Francisco.Keep in mind, these all these wins

(04:00):
came a home. You're going onthe road here to take on the Giants.
But you know, interesting, interestingtimes in Colorado. Yeah, and
they're not just winning these games,they're dominating to beat the brakes off of
them. Would you say forty threeto fourteen? Yeah, forty three runs
scored versus fourteen runs allowed over theseven game win streak. That's wild,
that's insane. But it tells youwhat the team is capable of. And

(04:24):
once again, this is how itworks. Once you established somewhat of a
standard, it's you can't go awayfrom that. You can't start to take
a dip because this is how fansare now looking at you, and you're
building a little hope and optimism forthe team. That's I just find it
fascinating. Like I said, Iwas cracking jokes. They're eight and twenty

(04:45):
eight, I start cracking jokes theyneed a twenty game win streak just to
get back the five hundred, andthen they knock out seven in a row.
Just when you start counting them out, you start making the usual derise
of jokes. They come right backaround, so you know they will saying
it's the hope that will kill you. But I'm uh, you know,
I'm interested. I'm all of asudden, I'm like, all right,
well, Chuck, you know,continue to do it, shock the world
going to twenty game win stree.It could be nice, especially since one

(05:08):
of the teams you'd be sweeping ifyou did that would be the Oakland Athletics
in Oakland, you know here anduh here after you place the Giants.
Yeah, that that would be greatif you can definitely do that. But
it comes to point in the schedulewhere you're saying, well, you want
to beat the teams that you figureas though you were evenly matched from a

(05:29):
talented standpoint, well, being ableto beat teams that no one is anticipating
that the Rockies can't compete with,That's where the overall mindset then starts to
truly truly change in my in mymind as athlete, that should be the
same for the Rockies players. Uh, the other team that's crushing it right
now. Everybody counted out the DenverNuggets two games into the series against the

(05:51):
Minnesota Timberwolves, and boy, theycame up roaring back to life. Nicoley
Okic and uh Anthony Gordon. Gordonreally was the one who kind of woke
up more than anything. You've beenkind of a non factor of the first
two games. You really kind ofwoke up and has gotten back into these
series. Jokic is taking his gameto another level. You know, it's

(06:12):
it's it's been interesting. I reallythought we were gonna see more of nas
Reed last night for the tea Wolves. Somebody had talked to said that they
were looking at, you know,trying to take it with the lineup and
get some some more offense in therebecause they've they've got three guys in there.
I mean, Towns is a tertiaryoption, but you've got guys like
like Jane mcdanielson and Rudy Gobert whocontributed nothing on offense. And you can't
have Anthony Karl Anthony Towns taking moreshots than Anthony Edwards right in the game.

(06:36):
Cats should be your your your numberthree guy like you should have you
should have you know Aunt, thenyou should have someone else and then Towns
and those should be that should beyour your triumvirate and instead, like with
Condie out, Yeah, that definitelyhurt him, but I mean you've got
to find another scoring option and nasReed's been the only guy who's been been

(06:56):
effective. Man, I won't playhim. It's try to tell Ryan Edwards
and I don't want to sound badlike I'm throwing shade, but when Ringer
Bearr is on the floor, tome, it's just like he might as
well not be on the floor.Because yes, he was like consecutive defensive
Player of the Year, and weknow how tall he is at seven to

(07:18):
one, but when you look athis point total and then granted eighteen points
that that's huge, But a lotof it was garbage. Yes, garbage.
You know, garbage is Matt Standfordstat Padford type stuff exactly on the
court, by the way. Sowhen you think about the t woves and
what makes that engine run, everythingstarts with Anthony Edwards. And here's what

(07:41):
I think what happen with Bigcat becauseon Mother's Day he did not have his
best game and he would say that, and you know he wasn't use an
excuse, but I was wondering ifit had anything to do with him remembering
the loss of his mom, whohe lost during COVID, that probably had
something to do. It is awhile. He came out in this in
the game against the Nuggets, youknow, game five, saying hey,

(08:05):
listen, I need to go andbe more assertive in the offense and That's
why you probably saw him taking moreshots and this problem every time he plays
the Nuggets last year. This seasonfouled Trumble. It just he seemed like
he's just doing too much. Butthis is where the greatness of Nicola Joki
has put so many different players infoul trouble because even though he doesn't seem

(08:30):
like he's moving that faz, hehas great feet to be a guy his
highs. Yeah, go bear,I mean again, he's there, he
gets the rebounds, he does kindof alter some shots. But when you're
playing a team like the Nuggets,you know, I mean your backdoor cutters,
Gordon, but you're not slash intothe hoop very often like Gordon's backdoor
cutter. And I just I feltlike watching you know, nasried who who

(08:50):
had a poor shooting night in thefirst game of the series or whatever it
was the third game of the series, whe was two of seven. You
know, maybe he doesn't need tobe out there shooting the three pointers,
but he's scoring points and he's justnot getting a lot of a lot of
time out there. I mean,youre talking about a guy who's seen twenty
minutes of court action and picking youup double digit points. Meanwhile, you
got Rudy Gobert who's barely getting thatin forty minutes. Is that how many

(09:11):
minutes he had last night? Iwas twenty nineteen forty seven, Okay,
because I was at the game,and they did switch up the rotation a
little bit early on to get himin more more and then in the float
of the game ishues. Last nightit was and it was the first time
he did foulishes. He had fourfor the game. Uh, and he
only finished with seven points, threeof eight, zero for three for downtown.
He really just kind of needs toquit shooting the three pointers. That's

(09:33):
sort of been the problem he's soover the last three games he's two of
eight from downtown and and that sortof bit paded the U or hurt the
field goal percentage. But he's beena guy who's who's better reliable scoring option
when he's out there. Maybe youneed to try a lineup that has him
and Karl Anthony Towns, where maybeyou putting Towns on Jokic. Uh.
You know, if you've got tofigure something out here because Gobert is not

(09:54):
giving you what you need to beatthis Nuggets team. Not that I'm complaining
I want the Nuggets to win,right, you want you want Rudy on
the floor. Well, what wesaw in the first two games is that
the Timberwolves offense, they're able toget out and that down heel attack when
Rudy is kind of like out ofthe way, but he's cogging the lane
because we know big Cat, eventhough he's a big guy, he doesn't

(10:16):
he don't want to play down thereright now. He's still think that he's
a shooting guard. Right, Yeah, he's a sized guy who is the
mentality of an off guard. Right. So if you are coach Malone and
the Nuggets, you love that.You want them to take those long three
point shots because that leads to longoutlet passes and then now you can get
out in transition. And when theNuggets play here at home, they want

(10:39):
to use an altitude as their friendand being able to get out and run
and space and pace, that's whatthey want to do. So the Nuggets
have put themselves in a great historicposition because we know a lot of teams
have started oh two and haven't reallyrallied back. I think what it's it's
maybe seven five that started oh tooand came back to win it. But

(11:00):
the Nuggets are one game away andI believe they'll get it. I don't
think that the Wolves are gonna winanother one. I think they just look
lost. They looked the body languagein that last game. They looked defeated.
They looked defeated, And that's whatyou want from a team that you
know, you've won twice on theirhome floor and that. And usually they
say the series begins when you're ableto win one on the opponent's on floor,
and the Nuggets have done that.But a series doesn't start in this

(11:22):
case till somebody wins on their ownhome right finally did Speaking of H and
two, it's it's highly it's potentiallyprobable that the Denver Broncos could start O
in two. We got the schedulerelease today. Obviously they're four and a
half point underdogs at the Seahawks tostart the season. You got the Steelers
Russell Wilson coming here. We two. But then you go on that road
trip right away, you're at Tampa, you're at New York, and the

(11:43):
team, you know, I've talkedto some people, they may stay out
there on the East Coast for thatstretch right there, they may split the
difference and go from Tampa up toWest Virginia where the Saints used to do
training camp, stay there for theweek, and then then flying to New
York. That way they used tothe time zone and the early start against
the Jets. What do you thinkabout that that opening quadrant to the season.
You got four games, three ofwhich are on the road, and
your lone home games is the returnof Russ. It's always tough to open

(12:07):
the season on the roll. Inthis situation, you may not have I
mean, the Broncos have veteran quarterbacks, but if you're thinking that both Nix
is going to be the start inthe quarterback talk about a tough place to
start your NFL career on the rolein one of the loudest places. And

(12:28):
if I know people talk about KansasCity and a decimal level, but let
me tell you I coached, youknow, for the forty nine ers and
playing in Seattle, it is difficult. Like we were behind the glass in
the coach's box, it was stillloud, and just imagine how that's going
to be for a rookie quarterback.And when you look at any schedule,

(12:50):
you just can't say Okay, Wellthat's the possibility of losing. The idea
right now for the Broncos is like, okay, you want to compete in
those games. Obviously you want towin, but you want to compete in
those games, and it's thinking aboutthe best ways to compete. What are
you trying to get out of thosegames? Right? What are you trying
to work on as far as theremaining of the games are concerned, But

(13:13):
looking at those first couple of Slayergames are very important. Also, you
brought up something about you got theyou on the road against the Bucks and
then six days later you get theJets, and those East Coast games can
be really difficult because guy's bodies areonly waking up maybe at halftime, right
these you're eleven am kickoffs? Yeahyou're not you know, I mean,

(13:33):
you're not awake. You're already yourHOMEO stations is off, right. So
the only thing you could do inpreparation of those games, have yours your
practice week start a little early,and then just say okay once you gown
for the Bucks game. I thinkit would be advantageous for the Broncos to
stay in town before a couple ofdays and then flying up to New York

(13:54):
instead of flying back here, luggingall the gear, then flying right back
there. Yeah, I've heard therumors that they may go to Greenbrier,
West Virginia, Green Bars, wherethe Saints used to do training camp when
Sean Payton's they head coach down there. There may be uh, you know,
there may be some kind of youever been there to Greenbrier, West
Virginia. Yes, I have.It's a beautiful part of it. It
really is, West Virginia. Notmy favorite to be there, but uh

(14:15):
yeah, good area. Lot ofbeauty there. People get that beauty as
far as like like trees that youconcern, like you got birch trees and
it's changing colors and all of thatstuff. Yes, and that's where they
can have like one of the bestgolf courses in the country. It's where
Sean Payton's wife is from. Ohawesome, A lot of beauty there.
Yes, moving on, Yeah,I mean it's a tough start. It's

(14:41):
a tough schedule all the way around. This is one of the tougher schedules
I've seen, just just not alot of breaks. Not that it's warranted
that the Broncos should get breaks,but one of the tougher schedules setups I
think I've seen. Uh. Youknow, obviously, like I said,
you got three your first four ofthe road, you get your first two
division games right after that, uh, and then you're you turn around it
for a physical Chargers game against thehardball Chargers and you got you got a

(15:03):
quick turnaround there to go Thursday nightfootball at New Orleans. You know,
that's that's just a that's a toughfirst seven games. It is a tough
first seven games. And when youlook at the average age of the Broncos
players, it's not one of theyoungest teams, but it is still a
young team. And you want tofind out what your team is made of.

(15:24):
Especially, you know, when peoplelook at the Broncos and outlook doesn't
seem as though it's it's Super Bowlthe bus. It's the idea of how
well has this team improved since theprevious year, how quickly can bow knicks
get up to speed, and ideaslike if this is that year that the
Broncos take their lumps for better twentytwenty five, I mean, would you've

(15:48):
rather than for that to happen?And in this kind of this late of
games. Yeah. I mean,you know, I think with his schedule,
you have to navigate the schedule asit's laid out. You can only
play what is put in front ofyou. I'm just looking at this and
I'm just saying, if you're gonnahave a rookie quarterback and a young football
team, it's a it's a prettytough layout for that. We got the

(16:10):
NFL six pack. We come back. It's time for the NFL six pack.
It's time for the NFL six patI'm gonna trade the last bear,
insight and inside information you can't findanywhere else. No. Six the top
six NFL headlines What here today,Gone today. The Broncos added a punter

(16:30):
to the ninety man roster, TrentonGill. You'll appeared in every game for
the Bearers of the last two seasons. Thought they used the four round pick
on Tory Taylor in April. You'llaverage to thirty eight and a half net
yards for punt durious times Chicago landedthirty eight, one hundred and thirty three
inside the opponent's twenty yard line.Riley Dixon is the other punter for Denver
and at the end of the story, they've already released him, literally signed

(16:53):
and release the punter today? Whatwas like speed dating? Right? If
you sit down and you don't giveme the answers that I need to let
me know that this relationship is worthfor silling, then is way book by
Brot got signed, jumped on aflight and by the time the flight land
it was already cut man. Bythe time he got back home. He

(17:15):
can he can make a happy hour, right? Wow? Absolutely? Uh
yeah, we hardly knew you two. The big news out of the schedule
release Russell Wilson's set to return toDenver in Week two. Russ and the
Broncos won't have to wait long tosee each other again. Obviously, gonna
be a Week two game against Denver. It's a four to twenty five Eastern

(17:37):
two twenty five Mountain Time. Kickoffwill be televised by CBS. Wellston the
course released by the Broncos after dinnerbeing benched late last season by head coach
Sean Payton. In a move thatensured the Broncos would avoid guaranteeing more money
in the quarterbacks contract for future seasons. Steelers signed Wilson, who time struggled
in both of the seasons with theBroncos. It's not a short thing necessarily

(18:00):
that Wilson will be the starting Steelersquarterback. They also traded for Justin Fields,
although I've been told that borrowing aninjury and Wilson that Fields had no
chance of starting. Steelers head coachMike Tomlin has installed Wilson's the favorite to
start, so there's a pretty goodchance he'll be there to try to beat
the Broncos, and the home openeron the other side will either be first
round pick bow Knicks or Jarrett Stinhamor possibly Zach Wilson. All the focus

(18:25):
has been on Russ coming back.Which quarterback do we want to see in
that game for the them Broncos?The best one that gives the team for
an opportunity to win. I mean, that's what we're talking about. Whether
it's Findham, Zach Wilson, orbow Knicks can surge and overtake those two
guys. You want to make sureyou go in to the season at Seattle,
but more importantly into Week two againstthe Steelers with the guy that you

(18:49):
have a lot of confidence in andthat can actually ensure that the team can
win. And I'll say this,I mean, let's be telling me honest.
Bow knicks well. One of thereasons he was drafted because he doesn't
take a lot of sen He doesn'tturn the ball over, So that's the
way you win, first and foremost, not turn the ball low Saxon nan
Cuba zero fumbles over the last twoyears over there at Oregon. It'd be

(19:11):
interesting to see. It'll be adisappointment if he's not starting the season.
Hasn't picked it up by that threeSaints fans grew a customer ruining for Sean
Payton to win games in the Superder, but they won't be doing that.
In Week seven on Thursday Night Football, Peyton be back on the sidelines in
New Orleans for the first time sinceparting ways with the Saints after the twenty
twenty one season, when the Broncoshad two New Orleans for a Thursday night
game on Amazon Prime. Saints wentone fifty two and eighty nine sixteen years

(19:34):
under Payton that included a Super Bowltitle, nine Playoff appearances, and a
one year suspension for the head coach. That's the league found he tried to
cover up a bounty program. DennisAllen was promoted for defensive coordinator, a
head coach in New Orleans and Peytonleft. So the matchup, obviously,
he's going to include two coaches thatknow each other well, also feature a
pair of teams experiencing multi year playoffdroughts, so it'll be motivation to win.

(19:55):
Beyond the relationship between Peyton and theSaints. I get the storyline here,
but does anybody you really care aboutthat Peyton going back to the Orleans.
Yes, there's always someone who cares. Anytime you face your previous employer,
you want to make sure that youput your best foot forward, so
rust assure. It's a Thursday nightfootball game, and the Broncos definitely want

(20:18):
to make sure. And Sean Payton, of course, was to make sure
his team goes out and perform wellsagainst his prior employer. Yeah, I
mean, obviously you want to goin there and get the win. I
it's interesting to me because we talkedabout it on the schedule. Lease show
what Russ's reception is going to behere in Denver. He will probably be
booed by the crowd. That's kindof a given. Will Sean Payton be

(20:40):
cheer booed in Norormans? Absolutely becausehere's the difference. Sean Payton had been
there for a long period of timewith Drew Brees. And guess what he
brought to the city of New Orleansthat they had never had before. That
didn't happen here with Russell Wilson.It's called no, what are you talking
about? That'll give rings for that. That was the Super Bowl. Asked

(21:02):
what they he brought to the city. I'm telling you what he talked about
the city to me about his life, starting Kevin James, and they've never
had one before. Oh no,he brought a Super Bowl to the city
of New Walls. So he solidifiedhimself, but more importantly, he solidified
the legacy of Drew Brees. Yadhe did. Four. We know the
Jets will be opening the season onMonday Night for the second straight year,

(21:23):
and they've been scheduled for five moreprime time games as well. The NFL
anounce the Jets will be at fortynine ers in Week one. Brian Costello
the New York Post reports that they'llbe at home against the Patriots on Thursday
night. In Week three, they'llhost of Bills on Monday Night. Week
five traveled to Pittsburgh for Sunday andin football week six of roasting the Texans
on a Thursday and Week nine andthe Colts on a Sunday in week eleven.

(21:47):
In addition to those games, andJets went another standalone game Week five
against the Vikings in London. Sixis the maximum number of primetime games the
team can be scheduled four ahead ofthe season, but they could be flexing
to more games. The Jets werescheduled for five primetime games and the NFL's
first Black Friday game last year,which didn't go as well as planned for
the team or network due to AaronRodgers torn achilles. All parties will be

(22:07):
hoping for better results this time around. We ready to see the Jets in
prime time this year, well,the Jets are ready to see the Jets
in prime time, but more employee, they want to see Aaron Rodgers actually
survive. I mean, the lasttime we saw Aaron Rodgers, he had
what four plays in the Jets uniformbefore he called the flag longer running out

(22:30):
the game. You know what,that might have been the thing that did
it to him, because it's tooheavy. Let's be telling honest. He's
playing in metlight and players have alreadygone on a record stay. They don't
like playing there. So where's thisgame going to be played? The Niners
game, I'm not sure Is thatat New Yorker? Is that at the
time? I'm not sure on that, I have to look at Okay,
if it's at MetLife, we don'tknow how long Hair Rodgers is going to

(22:51):
play. But if it's in LeviStadium in San Francisco, the odds on
that he survives that game and wesee a better Aaron Rodgers than we last
season. If not, we wouldget Toron Taylor or maybe even Jordan Travis.
That game is in San Francisco.Oh there we go. Yes,
five. Now we know why theNFL changed its position on playing games on

(23:14):
Christmas this year. Via Jessica Tumcoleof The Wall Street Journal, Netflix will
pay about seventy five million dollars foreach of the two Christmas games to be
televised in twenty twenty four, Chiefsat Steelers or Evens at Texans. The
NFL reportedly started the bidding at fiftymillion, with the believe the final price

(23:36):
could be up to one hundred million. The final numbers often does, but
the difference Joe Goldsmith of Deadline dotCom reports that Netflix VP Spencer Wang,
without confirming the number, compared theexpense to other projects, saying quota I,
we'd characterize each game as roughly thesize of one of our medium sized
original films. Of course, originalfilms can be watched over and over again.

(23:56):
NFL games don't get much reair tractiontill Peacock learned after televising a playoff
game in January that plenty of peoplewho added the service kept it. Netflix
will be counting on adding customers andhoping to keep current customers from canceling.
For the NFL, It's one hundredand fifty million dollars windfall less whatever concessions
league had to make the CBS andor Fox for taking two games that otherwise

(24:17):
would have been played and televised thatweekend seventy five million dollars a game.
Are you going to do it?First of all, do you already have
Netflix? If not, would yoube adding Netflix to watch those games?
I already have Netflix, so Idon't fall in that category. But if
I didn't have Netflix, I wouldn'tget Netflix to watch those Did you like
Peacock to watch the thing last year? At Peacock. Okay, so for

(24:41):
me, I was one of thoseindividuals that I was just like youably don't
know. Dick Ferguson is a ballerand it has all streaming services already.
The idea is that you kiss himlike on the holidays when they kind of
have those promotions the free trial orwhatever. Yeah, you hit the free
trial, well and you just gotto remember the cancel. It's a reminder
on your phone. Then you startthat's another benefit of being married. You

(25:02):
get the wife's email account and startto account through hers after the free power
run. I don't know by thatone, tell me email accounts for I
haven't thrived that one yet, Grant. But listen, that's what a lot
of these extremely services bake off.They dangled the promotion, how that they
promotion in front of your face.You get that promotion and you know they

(25:22):
said, well the following you haveto kazu. But most people don't put
it on the calendar. They forgetand it just kind of recycles right through
Money in the Bay. Yeah,my streaming idea of short video clips of
girls working Netflix did not take off. Six Netflix, however, announced it's
a Jered Jones documentary series in tenparts, similar I guess to the Dynasty

(25:45):
over over there on the Apple.The fact the entertainment company is making a
documentary about the Cowboys owner Reason Newsreported almost a year ago that Netflix had
paid just under fifty million in winninga bidding war ESPN and Amazon. The
announcement gave no information about when theseries will debut. Netflix teams up with
Sky Dance Sports and NFL Films andassociation with Star Dust Frames Productions for exclusive

(26:07):
access to Jones for what it callsnever before seen footage. Troik Mian,
Mike Lervan, and Smith DEAs Andersare featured in the documentary, along with
Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, formerpresident George W. Bush, and Nike

(26:53):
on the program, I'm wondering howfar back are they going to go in
Cowboys' history? You want to pullme in, Let's go back to those
days where the cowboys had like aNord Dallas forty house. What do we
just they were doing with the Cowboyswere doing at that time, Yeah,
a lot of powder. Yes,if they're gonna throw that on there,

(27:14):
sign me up. I want toknow the intricate details of what went on.
It's interesting. One of the taglens on here talks about Jerry Jones's
transformation of the Dallas Cowboys. Ourgood friend Randy Mueller, former NFL EXECU
of the Year, tweeted out,they've been transformed. Shrugged, MOCHI shot
fire just say it. I mean, I don't know. I mean maybe

(27:37):
I'll watch the Jerry Jones ten partsseries on Jerry Jones seems like a lot
it is he funding this project?Uh no, that's what he's paying for.
Yeah, no, iss Jerry Jones. See that's one thing that the
league owners love it by Jerry.Jerry knows how to make a good deal.
Yeah, Jerry knows how to makejar It keeps money in the owner's
pockets. They love Jerry for that. But the thing is that in part

(28:00):
series, I mean, if it'sabout Jerry, how intriguing will it actually
be? I mean, you gotto give some some substance. I guess
you're gonna focus on his days backplaying football to the University of Arkansas,
Jimmy Johnson. Maybe a little bitthere, how that relationship started. Uh
maybe you get into a little bitof how he got came into money,
uh, with the with the oils, that kind of stuff. And then

(28:21):
you get in and then you getinto the nineties Cowboys, you know,
and that kind of stuff. Butwhere does the rest of this thing go
from there? Because it's the Cowboysfell off a cliff after Listen, if
you want to match wits with theten part series with the dynasty with the
Patriots, you got to talk about, you know, the whole Jerry Jones
and uh, well I'm john blankon his name, coach Jimmy Johnson.
Yeah, they played football together,ark That's why you got hired as a

(28:44):
coach in the first place. Yes, tell me about that relationship, how
that went sour and then when BarrySwitzer came in its take over. Now
I'm intrigue, but I don't wanthere. You know, you grew up
and you made a bunch of money. No, give me, give me
the meat and potatoes. Hold holdthis ferragus. Yeah, it's funny.
I've been so Jerry, who,of course was he was born in la

(29:07):
but his family was from North littRock, Arkansas. They moved back there
in forty five and his parents ownedtwo branches of pat Supermarket there in the
Rose City neighborhood, which is alet's kind of rundown neighborhood. Used to
I used to go through there allthe time. North let Rock High School
right there where he played running back. You know, it's all right there.
He's he's tied into the to thestate of Arkansas and the Cappa Sigma

(29:29):
fraternity down there, which you know, my family was involved in. So
you know, it's just, uh, I don't know. I mean,
maybe that's gonna be maybe that's gonnabe something fun. I mean, it's
you know, he met Jimmy Johnson, who was They were college football teamates
at Arkansas but like, I don'tI don't know where you go after that,
Like, once you get to thenineties Cowboys, where do you go
with the rest of the series fromthere? It feels like it'd be Anticlin

(29:51):
acting. Well. You could justtalk about how desperate the Cowboys have been
over the past couple of years andhow you relevant they've been as far as
being a mainstay in the playoffs andwe even get to the super Bowl.
You can talk about that. Allyou have to do is right around Dallas
and ask fans what do you thinkabout the Cowboys not making the playoffs or

(30:12):
excuse me, the super Bowl overthe past couple of years, I think
answered all those questions. Yeah,I guess the Cowboys winning in the first
team that he tried to buy.He tried to buy the Chargers in sixty
six. There's there's some fascinating behindthe scenes stuff that maybe people don't know
about. Jerry Jones. He borroweda million dollars from Jimmy Hoffa to open

(30:32):
some pizza parlors and they failed.What yeah, I mean wait, wait,
like the the Jimmy Hoffa Jimmy Hoffa'steamsters. Yeah, back in nineteen
sixty five, he borrowed a milliondollars to start off some Shaky's pizza parlors
in Missouri, and it totally failed. He tried to uh he again tried
to use Teamster's money to buy theChargers in sixty six a year later,
and then he started oil and gasexploration, and that's what became successful.

(30:55):
Like he was. He was reallyhe had gone to work for his dad's
insurance company after a while because allhis ventures kept failing. And then finally
he he struck it with Jones Oiland Lanley's talk about trying to get in
where you fit in wow. Soand then he of course, you know
everybody knows about the Cowboys from bumBright back in was it eighty nine?
I think for one hundred and fortymillion, wasn't. His first thing that

(31:17):
he did was fire legendary coach TomLandry. He did and hired his old
teammate at Arkansas. So you gotto put that in. See, that's
got to be in there. Iwant to know fire tech Shram, who
is the longtime GM. How muchare the Cowboys worth? Now? Close
to ten billion? He bought itfor one hundred and forty million back in

(31:37):
back in eighty nine, which wouldbe the equivalent in today's dollars of about
three hundred and fifty million, giveor take. So that's the come up
right here. You know, that'sa straight come up. I don't care
who you are, where you grewup, that's the come up right there.
Guy who kept betting on himself evenafter he failed. I guess it's
it really is. I mean,and maybe this will touch on that.
A story of perseverance as far asthat goes. He just kept failing,

(31:57):
just kept doubling down, betting onhimself. You know, a million bart,
a million bucks, it didn't workout, limbit borrow two? What's
he? First of all, listen, just make sure that we don't leave
the audience like on that cliffhanger,because don't go out there trying to borrow
a million dollars. Think you canflip a team like Jerry Jones. Let's
not do that. When that doesn'twork. Parl too. Now you're in

(32:20):
the hole. Okay, I leaveball four to cover that. See banker
